​​Mary Ann Jankowski participating in art trail

​

The North Shore Arts Alliance announces that the 11th annual Chautauqua-Lake Erie Art Trail Open Studio and Gallery Tour will take place over Memorial Day Weekend, May 25-26. One of the artists participating in this year’s art trail is Buffalo native Mary Ann Jankowski.

​

“Nature is my inspiration especially scenes and beautiful flowers. I’ve always loved coloring, sketching and painting, but took my first art class in my 50s. I was hooked! I don’t consider myself to have a style but would say my tendency is to realism in all mediums — watercolors, pastels and acrylics. I’m constantly striving to be more ‘painterly’ and ‘think abstract’. These were terms used by Margaret M. Martin, AWS, whose works were vibrant with color. I took many watercolors workshops with her before she died. Her spirit and words are still with me when I compose and paint,” she said. “My current watercolors are of lilacs. I’m having a ‘blues’ mood and enjoying the gamut of the spectrum. I have just completed ‘Lilacs for Beth’ and ‘Moody Blues’ is a work in progress.”

​

Her work will be on display at 10 Beach Place, Fredonia. For more information and a list of all the artists participating, visit http://www.northshoreartsalliance.com.
